A Fitness for Duty Evaluation is a medical assessment that determines whether an employee is physically and/or mentally capable of safely performing the essential functions of their job. These evaluations are typically requested when there is reasonable concern about an employee's ability to work safely.
Fitness for duty evaluations may be ordered following a workplace incident, prolonged absence, observable performance issues, or self-reported concerns. The evaluation focuses on the specific job requirements and the employee's current capabilities.
BlueHive connects employers with qualified physicians who understand the balance between employee rights, workplace safety, and legal compliance in conducting these sensitive evaluations.
